Guild Wars 2

Adventures and jumping puzzles have some commonality. Some adventures are jumping puzzles. But adventures have something jumping puzzles don’t: reward levels. As a jp enthusiast it was enjoyable finishing them all… but now what? Yes, you can do them all again and again and improve on your times and get some loots, but there’s no record of your improvement, as there is with adventures.

My suggestion is adding bronze/silver/gold achievements to jps; bronze for finishing them, and silver for finishing them within some time limit, and gold for finishing within the time limit and not dying/restarting/something along those lines.

To be clear, I’m not looking for extra reward chests. Just some achievements that record how good I got with each jp. There would be no mastery points or other rewards locked behind these achievements. These would be solely extra cheevos for those that like jumping puzzles, and will not affect anybody else. They don’t even have to give AP or titles.

I realise there’s no official start location with jps as there is with adventures, but there’s some point on each jp where you’re undeniably on the jp and maybe that point should be highlighted in some way. With Morgan’s Spiral, for example, it’s when you step on that first leaf at the bottom.

With any suggestion, there’s usually a fair amount of “fat” consisting of people saying that i) anet has better things to do, ii) it would take too much work, iii) it’s only desired by a small group, and iv) probably though inexplicably someone will spout “L2P”.

I’m hoping we can trim the fat off this conversation leaving only the juicy discussion of the actual topic by offering you the following disclaimer: this idea is only presented here to record it for posterity, with no expectation that it should or would ever be implemented. It’s something I would enjoy. No animals were harmed in the making of this suggestion. If symptoms persist, see your Lion’s Arch healthcare professional.
